  1. I agree with this. But your posting up to this point has been about mostly irrelevant things.
  2. The federal government ought to be led by a semi-sane person, with oversight by somewhat non-corrupt assholes. But elections have consequences.
  3. I feel like he’s simply a John the Baptist like precursor to a really dangerous lunatic.
  4. He probably thinks Britney treated him “very unfairly.”
  5. Because we care Trump will willingly accede to a Democratic Congress trying to check his lunacy? Because we care he’ll leave the WH if he loses in ‘20? Nonsense. He will do what he wants and fuck our feelings. He will use the Grahams of the world to give his ascension to Supreme Dotard the look of legality, and there’s nothing we can do. All would be revolutionaries are nothing better than twitter jockeys.
  6. I admire your focus on process and attention to detail, Hugo, but the era of American politics in which those things mattered is over. We are one false flag terror attack from autocracy. If Moscow Centre doesn’t succeed in stealing the 116th Congress for the Dotards, I expect they’ll try for December.
  7. Flake still wants to be president. He was in a tough spot and thinks he figured out a way to navigate through it. In the end he has to confirm BK to someday get his party’s nomination. This all amounts to a moral victory at best. Move seen the transformation of Pub voters in my social circle. Folks who absolutely HATED Trump now parrot every idiotic thing he says. They don’t care about our truth and have no clue what they’re supporting at this point. They’ve bent the knee and there’s no going back. They have gerrymandered maps, voter suppression laws and confined Russian interference on their side. We have emotional pleas about past abuse in an elevator to kleptocrats who don’t give a shit on ours. One week to placate the media and then they’ll be right back to dismantling the Republic.
  8. Shit Beto, always moving the goal posts on me. Guess I'll throw in another $50. Reminiscent of JJ Watt’s fundraising. Guess I’ll re-up as well.
  9. VA Secretary can’t overturn Roe or help Trump with his legal problems. Trump barely knows the department exists and likely has no idea what it does.
  10. Distopic Trump-erica’s uniforms will be tailored.
  11. Like it matters. Truth means nothing, only power. Dems don’t get that, and don’t get that they have to be ruthless when they have it. Pubs would wipe their asses with the flag and piss on the constitution if it suited them. The tree of liberty is looking mighty parched, but we’re too fat and happy to give a damn.
  12. Why does anything Pubs do these days surprise y’all? There is no end to their idiocy, mendacity or depravity.
  13. I’m going for the first time since 2005. Hopefully this means something.
  14. We pay for weapons the Pentagon doesn't even want, but a decent wage for teachers is squeezing "blood out of a turnip." This shit is why we have Trump. Selfishness dressed up as high-minded political theory. So many want an advanced society, but simply do not want to pay for it.
  15. Beto 2020. This is how presidents come from nowhere. It strikes me as similar to Obama's meteoric rise following the '04 convention. Look at the Dem field. Old, not real exciting and who? litter that field of likely candidates. Beto will be a well known name after pulling this off in November, with recognition higher than all but Sanders, Biden and Warren. He will also have pros lining up to work for a put together candidate who obviously does well on TV, social media and face-to-face.
  16. To be the best, you have to beat the best, and that's the HOUSTON ASTROS Love it.
  17. Positive: he's ahead of DeVos. Negative: he's behind pyramids were giant granaries guy.
  18. If you don't want a leftist hegemony, why not win a few elections? Put a non-leftist in the White H... er, the Sena..., um the House..., how about win a bunch of state legisla..., uh governorships... Wait. What the hell are you talking about?
  19. Fucking snowflake. If it's safe spaces he's looking for, it ain't gonna be the sideline at DKR when he comes back from Dallas 1-5.
  20. Is this proof of the multiverse? Did this tweet come from a less dark timeline?
  21. People still tell me this 2-3x a year. I don't know if the caterer attached to the alumni center is the same, but the one back then certainly delivered.
